http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2889257/posts#commentThe big difference is Willards grandparents were US Citizens and since Mexico doesnt grant birthright citizen...
"Mexico grants citizenship to those who are born in Mexico.
So therefore, George Romney was a Mexican citizen.
In addition, Mexico recognizes the children of Mexican citizens born outside of Mexico to be Mexican citizens.
Therefore, Mitt Romney is a Mexican citizen."
"A Certificate of Live Birth - NOT a Birth Certificate. Where have I seen one of THOSE before?
Issued January 18, 2012.
Showing his father born in MEXICO.
So our candidates for President are a Kenyan Muslim and a Mexican Mormon.
NEITHER of the two candidates is an American OR a Christian.
NO NO NO!
I will NOT participate in the destruction of America, and BOTH of these represent it."

(15,189 posts)Do any of them think their birth certificate would pass the smell test? What about Presidents past who didn't have a birth certificate? Where's George Washington's birth certificate? I want the long form, not some copied shit that George tries to pass off.

(26,117 posts)that "Certificate of Live Birth" and "Birth Certificate" aren't the same thing?
Mind boggling.

It is an awesome meltdown. If the GOP convention is like this it should be pay-per-view with an extra fee for the Ron Paul counter-convention.

(5,763 posts)Make sure they're not Certificates of Live Birth. If they are, or it there's any other funny business about them, call the state and demand their real Birth Certificates.
Let them see how easy it is.

(53,061 posts)At one point, the Congressional Research Service - an arm of the Library of Congress that is supposed to provide authoritative but impartial research for elected members - advised that its analysts agreed with George Romney, according to a congressional source.
In a paper in November aimed at clarifying presidential eligibility, the Congressional Research Service declared that the practical, legal meaning of "natural born citizen" would "most likely include" not only anyone born on U.S. soil but anyone born overseas of at least one parent who was a U.S. citizen.
That would mean that even if someone is born in Africa of an American mother they would be a "natural born citizen"

(64,425 posts)You'd think they WOULD make a case out of it if the opponent was white. This time, they SHOULDN'T make a case out of it because he is running against a black guy. That's more consistent with the latent racism they say they don't hold.
